I am a registered Midwife and Health Visitor currently working with the health Visiting team at KCHFT in the East of Kent. I completed my MA in Healthcare in 2022 at the University of Greenwich and following this was very honoured to receive a Student Nursing Times Award. Since then I have been disseminating my work to my health care colleagues and raising awareness of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting. I am due to continue my academic journey and studies this year on the pre-doctoral bridging scheme with the NIHR.
